Knowledge fills a large brain it merely inflates a small one.

I have a lot of nice Italian winter clothes that make me look like a sophisticated Lebanese professor, so my friend Robert and I go around pretending to be experts in Arabic politics. It doesn't work in the summer though. I don't have the right clothes.

Much of today's public anxiety about science is the apprehension that we may forever be overlooking the whole by an endless, obsessive preoccupation with the parts.

Lewis Thomas

The superfluous is very necessary.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)

Science is the only truth and it is the great lie. It knows nothing, and people think it knows everything. It is misrepresented. People think that science is electricity, automobilism, and dirigible balloons. It is something very different. It is life devouring itself. It is the sensibility transformed into intelligence. It is the need to know stifling the need to live. It is the genius of knowledge vivisecting the vital genius.

Remy de Gourmont

My mom died when I was 8.

And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward

Bible

. . . simplicity in its pure form can lighten up the tough.

Dr. Bee

While civilization has been improving our houses, it has not equally improved the men who are to inhabit them

Henry David Thoreau

Nothing is cheap which is superfluous, for what one does not need, is dear at a penny.

Plutarch

False face must hide what the false heart doth know.

William Shakespeare

Feminism is hated because women are hated. Anti-feminism is a direct expression of misogyny; it is the political defense of women hating.

Andrea Dworkin

We must never be afraid to go too far, for truth lies beyond.

Marcel Proust
